On a side note, I'd really like to see someone with a low boost turbo do a flywheel swap.

I already had the Fidanza flywheel on my car when I boosted it. Why do you ask?

Did some more work today to clean up the engine bay a bit. Not perfect yet but looks alot better than how i had it before.

Sweet setup I like the "stock" engine view.

Good luck with your tune!

Scubaru Steve · 01-08-2011, 07:38 PM

wow... thats a very clean setup!

Yoda · 01-27-2011, 07:25 PM

gonna try to run 9 psi if the injectors can handle it.... Let you all know Saturday what the deal is

PETERPOOP · 01-27-2011, 11:07 PM

Nice. I've been running 8.5-9 lbs of boost. Pulls strong.

Yoda · 01-29-2011, 11:22 AM

Finally made it down. My wiring failed me bad it started to sputter on the way down. Had to bypass it :(

cali yaris · 01-29-2011, 11:43 AM

^ Can't wait to hear, wishing you the best of luck with your tune!

Yoda · 01-29-2011, 04:02 PM

Having them check the wiring

Yoda · 01-29-2011, 07:56 PM

Pissed. So one my fic has some hardware malfunction. Two I have crazy boost leak. Three I ended up with 171 whp and 183 tq. It would not hold 9 psi... It feel right down to 6~7.
Only one good thing Rolo said when I get the stupid problem fixed he would retune for freez

yea man the fic issue doesn't suprise me. If I were to guess I would say 3 out of 10 units are defective out of the box. We have sent back the clearly defective units and AEM claims there is nothing wrong ..... even though switching units right on the dyno solved the issue.

cali yaris · 01-30-2011, 03:46 PM

that's awesome, and a great result!!

Post up the dyno and if you have one, a video clip. You know we want one!

Yoda · 02-02-2011, 03:11 PM

Yea I gonna have to send it back to them. Cause it's just not working anymore. Car won't even start with it in.....'sigh'

Focus_Sh1ft · 02-02-2011, 06:01 PM

^ Did you try swapping .z firmwares? I believe .z107 is usually the accepted firmware for toyotas/scions.

What exactly is the problem? Can you even connect to it?

Yoda · 02-02-2011, 06:17 PM

I tried the firmware and failed. Talked to the AEM techs they said its very unlikely that its a hardware issue but I am welcome to send it to them. Only thing i can think of now is the wiring is bad. Something came loose or something. Next possible factor could be that the TPS has gone bad for some reason. Gonna go through the wiring again and make sure all connections are secure. Probably something up with the grounding wires i think.

Yoda · 02-05-2011, 05:18 PM

tsk tsk tsk i found my problem with the fic. Now to the boost leak.
